I lived in AZ ten years; I know people who carry. I also know (and have worked at) places with strict no-gun rules, not just in the building but anywhere on the property (e.g. Honeywell). I worked with one guy (in a different place, but he was a former employee at Honeywell) who said that he would never again work anywhere where he wasn't allowed to at least have his gun in his car. He was uncomfortable being without it.
Later on, I went on to work at Honeywell myself, at a couple of different sites over a period of four years. As a small unarmed female who grew up in a city, I never felt particularly unsafe there. What really scares me is the idea of someone so fearful carrying a gun. If you carry a gun, you need to be able to make conscious decisions about when to use it, not just start shooting out of fear.
